Experiencing some issues when shifting gears. I’m finding that even with the clutch pedal pressed the entire way to the floor I’m grinding a bit when shifting. I did a bit of research and decided to adjust the tensioner on the back cable assembly.
First I tried tightening the nut thinking this would help the clutch to engage sooner but in fact the issue appeared worse after I tightened it. I then adjusted the nut back to where I started and tried loosening it but that didn’t help either. Anyone care to take a stab at what the issue might be? New cable assembly maybe? Pressure plate? Thanks everyone!! |

Originally the bracket was welded to the sidewall and I think the bracket is brazed to the tube.
You should be able see where the bracket had been attached to sidewall near the bracket for the accelerator cable tube. Someone here described drilling holes through the tunnel sidewall where the bracket would sit and holding the bracket and tube in place and then plug welding the bracket through the holes from outside the tunnel. It is not easy to weld inside the tunnel and you have to take in to account the (probably plastic) fuel line in the tunnel. Welding and fuel don't mix real well. Jim |
